Why Verizon Salespeople Should Make Jeter Hear Them
Tonight is the All-Star Sport, a time when rich individuals collect together to rejoice the fact that they're rich and may hit a ball with a broom handle.
It is a world away from being, say, a Verizon salesman. It is not easy being a Verizon salesman. Sure, you can now promote the iPhone. But you additionally should be a tolerant, cheery individual, particularly within the face of some clients whose sense of decorum and language can go away them within the twitch of a nostril.
If Christian clothing hit a ball with a broom handle, you may ignore every final word uttered by a customer. When you are a Verizon salesperson, this is a little bit harder.
So when a Verizon salesman all of the sudden rubs shoulders with an All-Star, you would possibly think about that only joys can ensue--not less than for the Verizon salesman.
In case you have been detained by the TSA for the previous couple of days, you should know that a positive, upstanding Verizon salesman, Christian Lopez, caught Derek Jeter's 3000th hit last weekend.
This ball is price someplace in the area of $250,000. Not because it is a ball of magical value, however because some sad Yankees fan will most likely pay this much for that specific ball.
Lopez shouldn't be a sad Yankees fan. Indeed, he was very glad to simply give the ball back to Jeter. Oddly, within the pictures of the two of them together, Lopez smiled broadly, whereas Jeter could not have appeared more bored if he'd been compelled to learn an entire copy of Angling Month-to-month while seated in a dentist's waiting room.
The Yankees provided Lopez 4 luxurious seats for the remainder of the season (yes, these overpriced padded seats have proved to be a really hard sell). For this, he could must pay round $13,000 in taxes. Jeter, though, signed a few shirts and bats and reportedly offered Lopez nothing in any respect.
This seems very poor customer support on Jeter's part. Certainly he might offer one thing a little bit more material so as to indicate the value to him of Lopez' magnanimous gesture.
If an outright donation is thought to be inappropriate, perhaps Lopez might supply his freelance providers to assist Jeter on the customer service front. He may supply him somewhat advice on how one can appeal to those who pay your wages.
Tonight, you see, Jeter is missing the All-Star recreation. He is claiming a calf damage, regardless of going 5-for-5 on Saturday. There may be, little question, an All-Star bonus fee in his contract. Maybe he might think of sharing that with Lopez in return for some advice.
Perhaps, though, if no gesture arrives on the part of Jeter, the remainder of the Verizon customer service world would possibly stand in solidarity with their fellow salesman. Jeter is supposed to be the final word group player, so he would absolutely recognize the entire of Lopez' group entreating the Yankee to supply more than some mere doodle dandy on a bat to such an altruistic fan.
Perhaps the facility of Twitter, the web or the text might be employed to bring attention to what seems like a slight dismissal of the humble mobile phone salesman.
Customer support is a uncommon art. It could possibly go awry with one misplaced phrase or one lost smile. Absolutely, in this case, the Verizon salesperson deserves slightly higher and the Yankees' shortstop deserves to hear about it now.
